Living habits of wildebeest

Wildebeests like to live in groups, and groups are the law of their survival in nature. In the rainy season with abundant aquatic plants, usually about 10-20 form a family group, live freely and reproduce; In the dry season, wildebeests will consciously form hundreds of thousands, even millions of large groups, and unite to make long-distance raids to find new pastures. Wildebeest's nose is particularly sensitive. It can not only sniff out natural enemies such as lions and cheetahs, but also sniff out the rain in the distance, so as to find a good grassland. Wildebeests show great endurance with their unique characteristics.

Wildebeests move in small groups in rainy season and in large groups in dry season. Generally, the group composed of females is very small, with an average of about 8 females, females, wildebeests and wildebeests. There are usually 2-25 wildebeests in the same area, and they move in groups. When there is much grass, 7 mu of pasture is enough for a herd of wildebeests. They are very active in the morning and afternoon.

In winter, a small population is formed, and in summer, the population can be expanded to more than 100, while the older wildebeest basically live alone. Each group of wildebeests is led by an adult male wildebeest. When the wildebeest herd moves, the strong individual leads in the end, and other members follow one after another in the middle. Usually when the wildebeest herd is active, there is usually a strong man standing on a high place to watch and keep watch. If injured by the enemy, the bull will lead the wildebeest forward, unstoppable, until it is out of danger. With its strong body and strength, wildebeest can drive away hoofed animals such as crowned deer, musk deer and gazelle at any time. The natural enemy of wildebeest is jackals. The wildebeest is bloated, hunched and staggered, but it can jump over branches 2.4 meters high if necessary. The team of wildebeests is very disciplined. The strong wildebeests walk in front and behind the team respectively, and the female wildebeest and the young wildebeest walk in the middle of the team. The wildebeest will not attack people actively, so the danger is low. But the temperament of individual wildebeests is different from that of social wildebeests. Some wildebeests have to "wander" alone because they are separated from the group. These wildebeests have a bad temper and are very hurtful.
